Showing Original Post only (View all)An #Occupier said something interesting about Ron Paul... [View all]
That Ron Paul appears to be reasonable. And that this is dangerous.
I don't know much about Ron Paul excepting that his supporters are beginning to make me squirm. They post in the #Occupy livestream chats, which are of course dedicated to a movement of leaders and are not seeking one. They don't get that. I'm one of those who have tired of throwing support behind any sort of (Fickle) Father Figure. Don't want another one...
Would you give me please some DU love by explaining what is questionable and less than questionable about Ron? I noted one LA #Occupier's car had a Ron Paul bumper sticker :/

Compared to the non-Mitt candidates running, Ron sounds more reasonable than the rest.
